Public Comments and

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 

notice announces the Maritime 

Administration’s (MARAD) intention to 

request the Office of Management and 

Budget’s (OMB) approval for a new 

information collection related to the 

availability of mariners. 

DATES: Comments should be submitted 

on or before June 15, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of 

Collection: MARAD Maritime Operator 

Survey Concerning Mariner 

Availability. 

Type of Request: New Collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2133—New. 

Form Numbers: MA–1048. 

Expiration Date of Approval: Three 

years from date of approval by the 

Office of Management and Budget. 

Summary of Collection of 

Information: Part of the stated statutory 

policy of the Merchant Marine Act, 

1936, is to foster the development and 

maintenance of an adequate U.S.-flag 

merchant marine manned with trained 

and efficient citizen personnel. In order 

to successfully meet this mandate, 

MARAD must determine whether a 

current or projected shortage of 

mariners exists and if there is an 

operational or business impact on the 

merchant marine. MARAD believe that 

a brief preliminary survey is necessary 

at this time because it has received an 

abundance of anecdotal information 

indicating that there is a serious existing 

and projected mariner shortage in 

different market sectors. If the 

preliminary survey indicates that there 

is a projected shortage that appears to be 

more than short-term, MARAD will 

follow-up with a more detailed survey 

to analyze the shortage and ascertain the 

best means to address it. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

new data collection will rely on a 

written survey and telephone follow-up. 

The survey will request the respondents 

to provide information such as: (1) 

Future plans to hire mariners; (2) past 

difficulty in hiring mariners; (3) 

expectations of future difficulty in 

hiring mariners; (4) impact on business 

operations and plans; and (5) 

suggestions for solutions. 

Description of Respondents: The 

target population for the survey will be 

approximately 100 vessel operating 

companies representing different sectors 

of the U.S. maritime industry. 

Annual Responses: 100. 

Annual Burden: 33.34 hours.

the docket number that appears at the
